Categories     Grains

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
salt or pepper
1 pinch nutmeg (optional)
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 green onions, thinly sliced, green and white parts
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, slightly crushed (optional)
6 ounces corn, either canned, fresh (reserve 1/4 cup liquid if using canned corn) or 6 ounces frozen corn (reserve 1/4 cup liquid if using canned corn)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • In a large bowl beat the egg. Stir in the milk and reserved corn liquid (or water).
  • Stir in the dry ingredients and blend well.
  • Stir in the corn (if using frozen corn, defrost first) and green onions. For best results, refrigerate batter for 30 minutes.
  • In a large pan heat some oil until it bubbles when a small amount of batter is dropped inches.
  • Dip a utensil into the hot oil to coat and then measure out 1 rounded tablespoon of the cornmeal batter into the pan.
  • Cook fritters until golden on one side then turn over and cook until golden on other side.
  • Remove fritters from the pan, drain on paper towels and transfer to warming platter.
  • Serve warm with garnish of green onion slices and red pepper flakes if desired. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Yield: I eat these too fast to remember how many fritters the recipe yields! Also, be sure your cornmeal is fresh.

These fritters were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less oil. Otherwise, they were tasty and had a nice texture.
